Another Lifetime You’ve played a part in the grand parade You walked the path you were not afraid Hills of green under desert sky In backward motion time goes by Lay your body down Lifting off the ground You’ve been haunted by a world rewound Let your spirit high There’s starlight in your eye From another lifetime What does it means to be alive? Do memories and thoughts survive? You can see the future past unfold And witness stories yet untold Lay your body down Lifting off the ground You’ve been haunted by a world rewound Let your spirit high There’s starlight in your eye From another lifetime Lay your body down Lifting off the ground You’ve been haunted by a world rewound Let your spirit high There’s starlight in your eye From another lifetime

Ghostwritten Fables

 Words 
 ghostwritten fables 
 long forgotten legacies
of who and why 

 Life 
 Feeling and dreaming 
 All the things we say and do
before we die 

 All I see is real to me 

 I traveled in time
with only my mind 
 just to see a world without people
 no drama no pain
 all lost with the rain 

 Minds 
 forever changing 
 Years of ingenuity Would pass us by 

 Hearts
 The stories of loving 
 Etched into the sand
and blown into the sky

 What I see is real to me 
 I can’t let this go
 cause I’m burning to know
 the future of mankind
 If I look through my mind 
 what would I see?
what would I find? A place without hunger No borders no hate 
 a world without people But I’d miss your face The sweet sound of laughing The wild human race The wild human race Where are they Where are they now? Where are they now? 
 Rain

A Time In Your Mind 


 Something moving in the dead of night 
 Iris searching for a shred of light 
 All the years of learning who we are 
 Baggage heavy when you’ve traveled far 

 We live on the edge of a knife Another trap, another lie
 Don’t miss out on love in your life Something lurking through a veiled disguise 
 In the doorway there’s a watering eye 
 It sees the truth and all you choose to hide and every fear that you create inside We live on the edge of a knife Another trap, another lie
 Don’t miss out on love in your life You’ll never be all alone If you believe 

 Wake up

 Slow descending black cloud 
 you can weather this storm
 you don’t know why keep waking in the sun
 you don’t know how 
 it all resolves as one

 Ooo Aaah When you find a time in your mind
 that drags you into the deep
 Lift your spirit up and high 
 Until your heart is at peace

 Now wake up Unbounded ravens fly with broken wings
 A flood of water in the canyon sings
 You were an island and it had its place In the mirror there’s a motionless face We live on the edge of a knife Another trap, another lie
 Don’t miss out on love in your life You’ll never be all alone Just believe it 
 You’ll never be all alone 
 Don’t miss out on love in your life 
 you don’t know why keep waking in the sun
 you don’t know how 
 it all resolves as one

 When you find a time in your mind
 that drags you into the deep
 Lift your spirit up and high 
 Until you heart is at peace

 Wake up
4.
Better Life All through the years you thought nothing was right Biding your time and fighting the good fight Hoping someday that you’d have it made Wasting away in the plans that you’ve laid You long for a better life Maybe its time right now Maybe its time For a better life Because the time is now Waiting for love your own special way Saving so long for some other day Joining the people standing in line To get to the place where everything’s fine You long for a better life Maybe its time right now Maybe its time For a better life Because the time is now 
 It’s all in the 
way you believe 
 you can see 
you can feel you can fly Better get it right before the end of the line You long for a better life Maybe its time right now Maybe its time For a better life Gonna turn around now There’s no more hiding the tears 
 All your hopes and your fears are behind How many years would you trade for a dime? You should know by now You want a life of ease
 You’ve been burning the candle at both ends
 and you pine for peace

Feels Like Home It’s been so long I can’t remember when I had such piece of mind Through all the ups and downs there and back again. To be alone I was resigned Then you opened the door to another world of harmony and light I grew tired of walking backward to the same reasons The reasons why we fight Raining down washing out the fire You’re with me now It finally feels like home Reaching out I was walking across the wire It’s over now It finally feels like Feels like home Lost in stagnation A cold state of disrepair I was doubting all I know Determined to grow my way out Like a sunflower in the snow Raining down washing out the fire You’re with me now It finally feels like home Reaching out I was walking across the wire It’s over now It finally feels like Feels like home Open your heart Open your mind Hold it in your hands feel the changing tide in tune and aligned a field of liquid light stars that fill your eyes boundless of time Raining down washing out the fire You’re with me now It finally feels like home Reaching out I was walking across the wire It’s over now It finally feels like Feels like home Feels like home like home like home…
6.
Here and Now Part One A wave of evolution moves across the sand All will be forgiven Only some will understand We lift off the ground and we feel every sound All we need is here and now

about

This "5 song digital EP" features the main "singles" from Dave Kerzner's album "The Traveler". These are shorter versions of select songs from Kerzner's third studio solo album which are edited to be more suitable for radio airplay and streaming. The Bandcamp edition of this EP also includes additional "shorter radio edits" (versions that are under 4 minutes) plus a 6th bonus track. 11 tracks in total.

Note about subscription streaming services and why this EP is the only version of the album that will appear on them:

Because the currently popular subscription streaming services do not pay artists and labels fairly, independent music artists are making a point of not putting their entire album on those services until they change their royalty payout to a user-centric system or another viable solution for independent bands and music artists to recoup the high cost of production of their album through their platforms.

Until then, singles and EPs such as this will be the only thing from new albums that will be available to listen to virtually for free on Spotify and other similar subscription streaming services. We can all think of these services more as a form of "radio for discovery" which hopefully leads to fans buying the album on Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon or CD retailers and distributors around the world.

Bandcamp continues to be one of the few music streaming and download sites that pays the artist fairly for their work.

This EP, "The Traveler Singles" has been made available on Bandcamp for those who want to purchase the downloads of these edited versions of the songs at a discounted price.
